The victims are first attacked by fever and soon red blotches cover their bodies. At its inception the malady confined itself to the ranks of Austrian laborers, nearly 3000 of whom have been brought to the town from Buffa lo, N.

THE "DIFFERENT STORE" CASH OR DYNAMITE GHAMtVlER GOES IN Gives Up Illinois Central With Safeguard Against Wall Street. HARRIMAN BUYS STOCK. Rival Interest Asrree on Purely Bunl , ae Management Secure From Speculators Finn Gets ,10,000,000 for Stock. CHICAGO, Oct. 24. (Special. ) For a consideration of SlO.noo.OOO, and assurances that control of the railroad will pass to an administration that has never been identified with the speculative'interes'ts in Wall Ktrtet, Stuyvesunt Fish has agreed to retire ad president of the Illinois Cen tral Railroad, in favor of a successor to be selected by stockholders representing equally himself and Mr. Harriman. At a meeting in New York Monday aft ernoon the last chapter in the bitter fight waned fir control of the Illinois Cen tral between Mr. Fish and Mr. Harriman was completed, and, by a vote of all con cerned, it was decided to offer to Captain George J. Grammer. vice-president of the New York Central lines west of. Buffalo, the post of president of the Illinois Cen- tral at a salary of $100,000 annually on a ten-year contract. Tne action taken at the New York meeting was ratified today at a meeting here of stockholders friendly to the Fish administration. One of the conferees, a prominent Chicago banker, voiced tne sentiment of capital aggregating $2T,0OO,flUO as advocating a con tinuance of the policy promulgated by Mr. Fish. This informant did not conceal his regret that Mr. Fish had consented to retire from the presidency, but commend ed Mr. Fish's judgment in the selection of his successor, who, according to the speaker, would be acceptable to all the warring Interests. The financier said the chief objection of Mr. Fish to relinquish ing control of the railroad had been found ed upon the belief that the syftem would eventually pass to the control of Wall street gamblers, who would handle it 'for speculative purposes, and not for the in terests of the many stockholders. Grnnunrr Suit AH Interest. Admitting that release of control was of vital interest to the stockholders, the banker expressed the opinion that tne earnings of the system as a dividend paying investment would not suffer at the hands of Captain Grammer, who, he ' said, was distinctively a traffic expert and not an agent of Wall street. It is said the selection of Captain Grammer was made after the opposing interests had taken careful measure of each other's strength and realized that the very best man must be chosen. His intimate knowledge of the Western situation and his record as the head of railroad sys tems, great and small, in fields where competition is keenest, and the absence of any Wall street taint, influenced the two magnates to first offer the place to him. Captain Grammer left Chicago this afternoon for the East. There is already considerable specula tion as to the changes in the personnel in the event Captain Grammer accepts the position. It might mean many im portant transfers on both the New York Central and the Illinois Central lines. llnrrlmnn's Offer Repeated. A stockholder who attended the New York conference said today that prior to the annual Illinois Central meeting in this- city Mr. Harriman had made an offer of tlo.uuu.MM, partly In cash, the re mainder in stock of the company, to Mr. Kish to surrender contro . After the annual meeting, when Mr. Fish sacrificed a victory in favor of his constituents, it is said, Ihe .oft'er was repeated and -nr. Kish then accepted with the proviso that he was to have an equal voice with Mr. Harriman in selecting his successor. Harriman Buys It. & O. SliK'k. NKW YORK, Oct. 24.

WIDOW DEMANDS A HALF Mrs. Oelrichs Pleads California Stat utes in Will Contest. NEW YORK, Oct. 24. Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs, of this city, today filed an ob jection In court to "the probate of the will of her late husband. Hermann Oel richs. Her objection is based on the ground that Mr. Oelrichs was not a resi dent of New York, but of San Francisco. Mr. Oelrichs left the bulk of his estate to his brother and sisters. Mrs. Oelrichs son, Hermann Oelrichs, Jr., through hia guardian. Paul L. Kicrnan. also filed an objection to probate of the will on the same grounds. Mrs. Oelrichs says that in September she was appointed special administratrix of the estate by the courts of California, and quotes the laws of California to show that upon the death of a husband one-half of the community property should go to the surviving widow, who cannot be deprived of such interest by testamentary disposition. In an affidavit filed by Mrs. Oelrichs she declared that t the time of her hus band's death he did not have a residence in New York and she has no knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to whether he died leaving any prop erty in the City of New York. Mr. Oel richs' residence at the time of his death was in San Francisco, the affidavit con tinues, and he had property in that state, "and at the time of decedent's decease he left creditors in the State of California who are now creditors of his estate and residing in that state." WOMEN RIOTOUS IN COURT Knglish Suffragists Insist on Martyr dom and Get It. LONDON, Oct. 24. Ten women suf fragists, who were arrested yesterday for rioting within the precincts of the House of Commons, were arraigned in Police Court today and bound over to keep the peace for six months. Such a common place outcome of the affair did not meet the views of the suffragists, who appar ently desired to assume the role of mar tyrs by being committed to jail, and when the Magistrate announced his decision, an uproar broke out in the courtroom and ultimately the women had to be removed by force. Some of them were literally thrown out among the crowds waiting outside the building. The women continued to make a dem onstration outside the court until they were again arrested. Some who had been temporarily locked up in an ante-room by the police had a momentary revenge. They managed to secure a key and re leased themselves, but were again locked in by their jailer, who walked off with the key. When the disturbances had somewhat subsided, the police reassembled the de fendants, who were then informed by the Magistrate that they must immedi ately find sureties for their good be havior or be imprisoned for two months. The whole ten women refused to enter into recognizances and were conveyed to Holloway Jail. LAWS TO PROTECT WOMEN "White Slave Congress Proposes Many to the Nations. PARIS, Oct. 24.

FOSSE SEARCHES FOE HIM Demand on Lake Shore Road for 93000 on Pain of Blowing Up Limited Train Two Suspect a Arrested. - CHICAGO, Oct 24. Threatened by an anonymous, letter-writer -with the blowing up of one of its passenger trains unless it paid $5000, the Lake Shore Road tonight sent a dummy train filled with armed men out of Chicago and at a point in Indiana designated by the bandits the train was stopped, but no one was found in the neighborhood. As soon as the train slowed up. Super intendent Wilson with a score of United States Deputy Marshals and railroad de tectives leaped from the coaches and be gan a hunt that Is still in progress. Three posses are searching the Indiana marshes in the vicinity of Miller, and Aetna. Two employes of the Aetna Powder Works have been arrested. Their arrest was caused by the finding in their room of a bottle of nitroglycerine. The bandit in his letter instructed the railroad to carry the money to him on the limited express, which leaves Chi cago at 6:20 in the evening. "I will be at the side the tracks," he wrote, "somewhere east or west of Pine. When the limited approaches me I will fire two shots from my revolver. Have the money in a bag and drop it off the hind end of the train. If you don't do this, I say your train will be blown to atoms with dynamite." Three letters in all were received from the mysterious writer, and the railroad officials turned the matter over to the United States postal authorities, who planned the dummy train - to trap the bandits. MORE MARINES NEEDED General Elliott Wants Barracks at Mare Island and Elsewhere. WASHINGTON. Oct. 24. In his annual report. Brigadier-General G. F. Elliott, commandant of the Marine Corps, calls attention to the necessity for an increase in the commissioned enlisted personnel of the forces, and says the demands for both officers and men are daily increasing. He states that unless prompt action is taken in this matter by Congress during its coming session, he will be unable to carry out the directions of the Secretary of the Navy with regard to details both ashore and afloat, and that the efficiency of the corps will suffer materially. General Elliott says that the provisions of the general order of the Department, by which enlisted men of the army are entitled to campaign badges for - service ashore in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil ippine Islands during certain periods and for service ashore with the Pekin reserves during the Boxer rebellion, be made ap plicable to the men of the Marine Corps, who- were at that time serving with the army; ' He says the barracks at Mare Island, Cal.. are unsafe, -inaclequate and obsolete in design and construction. The sanitary condition Is bad "and he recommends $300, 000 for new barracks and JCO.000 for offi cers' quarters. . The report also states that the accommodations for the marines at the Naval Station, Cavite. P. I., are not only unsanitary and inadequate, but conduce to discontent and dissatisfaction, as the ordinary comforts are not granted to the men. He submits an estimate of 175,000 for the improvement of the grounds anil the building of barracks. An estimate of $100,000 is suggested for the construc tion of barracks and officers' quarters at the Navy Yard at Charleston, S. C. General Elliott urges the necessity for the immediate construction of proper ma rine barracks on the Isthmus of Panama to facilitate contentment and especially necessary for sanitary reasons. General Elliott says that all the public buildings of the Marine Corps, Including those re cently constructed, can be replaced by new buildings at a cost of not more than $1,500,000. General Elliott says he appre ciates the justice of the recommendation made by the Secretary of the Navy last year, that the Commandant of the Ma rine Corps be given the rank of Major General. The report says that under the present methods and rate of recruiting. It is be lieved that the Marine Corps will be re oruitea to its full strength before the end of the present calendar year. General Elliott states that as soon as the condi tion of the corps will permit it Is the In tention to increase the Marine contingent in the Philippines to a total of 1600 men. which Is the number recommended by I the general board of the navy .and ap- i proved by the Department. There are 38 officers and 1300 enlisted men now in the ' Islands. MOODY FOR SUPREME BEXCH Roosevelt Will Appoint Him Despite Sectional Objection. WASHINGTON, Oct. '24. While no of ficial statement is obtainable, unofficial advices confirm the report that the Pres ident will appoint Attorney General Will iam H. Moody, of Massachusetts, to the vacancy in the Supreme Bench, made by the retirement of Associate Justice Henry B. Brown. The announced intention of the Pres ident to appoint Mr. Moody came as a surprise, as it was generally understood that he eliminated the Attorney-General from consideration in that connection be cause of the fact mainly that Massachusetts- already had a representative on the bench in the person of Associate Justice Holmes. Mr. Moody's nomination will be sent to the Senate when Congress convenes, but the general expectation is that he will not take his seat on the bench until about January 1, when, as previously an nounced, he expects to retire from the Attorney-Generalship.
